I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Long-Sleeve Top

Discover the innovative and sustainable Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Top, designed to provide all you need for an enjoyable summer surf. With its 1.5-millimeter thickness, this wetsuit top effectively shields you from chilly breezes and early morning conditions.

What sets this top apart is its use of Yulex natural rubber, which not only offers exceptional performance and added warmth but also ensures a reduced carbon footprint. Unlike traditional neoprene, Yulex natural rubber eliminates the need for petroleum and harmful chemicals, resulting in an 80% decrease in CO2 emissions during production.

For this season, Patagonia has further enhanced the construction of the R1 Lite Yulex Top, making it even stretchier, lighter, and more comfortable than before.
